we have more than 12,000 casualties, it's been over 72 hours now. the weather is freezing cold, there are still collapsed buildings not touched, and the numbers will increase. I've been walking around with a headache and my head spinning for days at this point. all we do is watch the news, share hopefully helpful information online, spread the word and donate whatever we can. there are still miracles, babies and families and animals being rescued alive even in these conditions, yet nobody knows how to feel, what to do.
to those of you who might not have grasped the dire situation yet: 1/4th of turkey's landscape was affected by the quake, 13 million became directly affected. this is the biggest natural disaster in turkey in a century. we had not one but two deadly earthquakes in the span of 9 hours. sea levels have risen in certain places, and there are fires breaking out. people have no buildings they can enter into safely, they have no food and no toilets and no medicine unless they're provided by the donations of millions of people.
please, please donate if you can (the weather will become colder so we need blankets and coats and gloves and everything that might be useful). if you can't, please share information so that someone able and willing can donate. here's the link to AHBAP, one of the most trustworthy local non-profits working tirelessly to help.
